“You, did you really hear what I’ve been saying correctly? That only one person can enter this heart. No one else can. I’m already done for.”
“No… so, then…”
My gaze dropped to the floor.
“I don’t have a girlfriend. I haven’t met any women since you. That woman we met in front of my house, she’s my secretary. If my memory is correct, maybe she just stopped by that day because of a video conference.”
I covered my mouth with both hands, too shocked. My mouth, hidden by my hands, opened wide, not visible.
“Surprised, huh? I already told you. Now, it’s either you or no one else for me. How could you think I would have had a girlfriend until now? Ha…”
Jun, who swept his hair back, and my eyes met. Your eyes, looking displeased, stared at me intently. In a nervous heart, I glanced at Jun. Jun’s face, stiff and unyielding, showed no signs of softening.
I lowered my gaze again. Carefully avoiding Jun from appearing in my sight, I rolled my eyes left and right, only the pupils moving.
Well, I hadn’t seen it myself. Moreover, there was enough room for misunderstanding in the situation, enough to blame Jeong Eun for. However, there was no way to easily rewind the time already spent, like rewinding a clock.
So, I decided to silently listen to Jun’s words. Because, no matter how I thought about it, I was the one who should feel sorry now.
However… no matter how long I waited, I didn’t hear any words from Jun standing in front of me. With a puzzled mind, I raised my head slightly.
In the meantime, the eyes of the displeased puppy drew a pretty arc while rising. Lips as beautiful as the eyes.
The tense shoulders relaxed. Perhaps because my heart was relieved, the tension that had been pulling here and there, annoyingly twisting faces, was released. In response to that recoil, a smile involuntarily formed on my face.
Jun, who was looking at me, let out a sigh resembling laughter. As if to say it couldn’t be helped.
“Well, then…”
Suddenly, Jun stepped five paces back in the opposite direction to where I was standing. Jun’s large stride quickly widened the distance between him and me.
Seeing mischief filled in Jun’s face for some reason. What kind of prank is this? As I was tilting my head, Jun looked at me and spread his arms wide.
“Iharu, come and hug me first. Tell me you really like me. Then, I won’t ask about all the misunderstandings, difficulties, pain, and trials I’ve gone through for the past 9 years anymore.”
A smile quickly spread across my face, going around my mouth. Jun, asking me to run up and hug him first, telling him I like him, looked adorable like a child.
Without hesitation, I tried to step toward Jun.
But then, abruptly, before completing that one step, my foot stopped at the point where it should not have reached my normal stride. No, I couldn’t lift my foot further.
Jun’s wavy hair fluttered like waves in the night breeze filled with moonlight. The moist eyes were moist in the damp night air. A pink smile, reminiscent of spring, flowed on his smooth cheek.
Perhaps it was because of the faint night breeze.
Suddenly, a foolish thought came to my mind that this scene might be a dream. It was hard to believe that the wide arms created by Jun were for me. I steadied myself on the swaying body. Then, I closed my eyes slightly.
One, two, three. No, just a little more. Four, five…
Very slowly, I lifted my trembling eyelids.
In the gradually widening field of vision, Jun’s pretty face, still standing in the same posture as a little while ago, appeared unchanged. Jun, with eyes slightly larger than before, still looked at me from the same spot.
“I like you…”
I whispered with a very small voice into the air filled with the night breeze.
“Huh?”
Perhaps my words weren’t audible, as Jun, still with arms spread wide, asked with a clear expression.
I rolled my feet and quickly headed toward Jun. Jun’s lips elongated slightly to the side.
No, maybe I had been dreaming of this moment for a very long time. So, for a moment, this scene may have looked like a vivid dream.
So now, the moment had come for my long-time dream to come true. Watch it well. Don’t ever miss the one who generously offers a wide embrace without any doubt. Embrace him with all your strength, who is giving you that broad hug.
I didn’t know it could be a signal from my dream to me. A clever and secretive little signal only I knew.
Without any hesitation, I rushed into his arms. As soon as my face touched his chest, I felt Jun’s long arms wrapping around me generously. It was so warm that I wanted to stay in this embrace all day long.
“You have to say you like me. That I’m too good. That you like me to death.”
Jun, who embraced me, urged the promised next words. I chuckled, but I decided to act a bit more reserved. This appearance was also lovely.
“I said it on the way here. Didn’t you hear?”
“Well, on the way, did you mumble so indistinctly that it couldn’t be heard from there?”
A grumpy and uneven tone mixed with discontent.
I placed my hand on Jun’s chest and created a slight gap between Jun and me. Jun looked down at me with slightly resentful eyes.
“How about this instead?”
I raised my foot slightly and kissed Jun’s cheek. Perhaps not expecting it, Jun’s mouth slightly opened in surprise at my sudden kiss. I could see Jun’s cheek that my lips touched becoming slightly flushed. I smiled lightly.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
